Of course, but now you are talking magnitudes of complexity. Sure you can pull it off ?

"The case continues...." Indeed, we'll all be dead before it's resolved..... this is complex legal stuff.

Why bother when there are so many excellent platforms with backtesting stats already proven and vetted for accuracy ?

The algo results indicate instability IMHO. Moreover, the most important stats like # of trades and avg time in trade are missing.

Exactly....I discovered that a few months ago. Even if you do purchase an MC license from a 3rd party....it likely won't work into the next month as they somehow refresh their KLM system every month. (KLM=Key Licensing Management)

Indeed the recent TD Ameritrade commercials indicate traders have some trepidation with regards to options. That's to be expected once you get into the "greeks"....delta, gamma, rho, theta, etc.

Hey Handle, can you enable me for a PM...I've got a few questions to ask about your platform.

Handle - a good idea only for those that want to specify, code, and/or test ... rather than trade ! I am just amazed at the number of developers who struggle with building a platform using the Interactive Brokers API. Building an auto trading platform is no trivial task.

Can you name the advantages / strengths of each of those platforms ?

Dude - isn't that kinda crazy having all of those separate platforms ? How in the heck to you get an integrate P&L and performance stats ?

There is that key word: Intuition. Mark Cuban nailed it with his long ETF position and short VIX (via puts) position ahead of the CPI number today. That was aired on CNBC yesterday evening. The guy is just incredible....and deserves his billionaire status.

Make that 90% if the CPI number comes in cooler than expected...at 8:30 am EST.

Exactly. Most algos probably have an average time-in-trade of less than 1 minute.

I love this story....cocoa market had already discounted a tight market....then went down went down on lower demand fears....and reversed back up when the winds hit. Sounds like a rational market to me. I say: "Anticipate the anticipations". Many fund managers cannot do this. Thus they blame the...

Bloomberg had several cool indicators on their show this morning...Dividend Yield vs. S/T interest rates....and the other one was some sort of High Yield rates vs. 10 year note rate. Neither were looking very positive for the market, but then again, the correlation coefficient was likely below...

Indeed. Market sentiment can change quickly...we've just seen an example of that. Suddenly everything is a worry...inflation, interest rates, federal deficit. 3 weeks ago, the market had no worries.

Of course...he didn't know what he was doing....that's now obvious. You can't mess around with these levels of volatility.

Uh, Dude....he decided to leverage himself and trade CFD's instead of stocks outright. He knew what he was getting into.

Yeah, but NO ONE was saying that 6 weeks ago.... hindsight is always 20-20.
